Johnson/!Converter/Docs/HelpMe

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

HELP ON CONVERTER+ (v1.41)

HOW TO CONVERT

1. Enter your number to be converted into the FROM window. Press Convert It!

2. Unless you have selected (via a menu) a conversion factor, the same
   number will appear in the response window
   
3. Press MENU on the mouse (middle button)

4. Drag the mouse to the conversion required. There are 6 conversion types
   Temperature, Distance, Weight, Volume, Pressure and Decorating. Each of
   these have their own menus. Select what you want.
   
5. When you have selected your conversion factor, the menu will disappear
   and the program will convert your number. Any subsequent conversions
   should have the number entered into the FROM window and "Convert It!"
   clicked on.


HOW TO QUIT

1. Press Quit on the either the icon bar or the on the window menu

2. Select Yes to quit or no not to.


ANYTHING ELSE?

Not really. The program is self explanatory, and really, this file is not
really of any use, except in case of emergency.
